The indirect object comes first followed by the direct
object in this example:
e.g. He gave me a book.
The indirect object is typically personal as in "me" in
the previous example, and "the man" in the
following example:
He asked the man a question.
The indirect object is often equivalent to a
prepositional phrase with "to" or "for".
e.g. He gave a book to me.
He bought a gift for his son.
In a sentence, a direct object receives the action of the verb directly, while an indirect object receives the action indirectly.
In a sentence, a direct object receives the action of the verb directly, while an indirect object receives the action indirectly.
The difference is that me can be either used as a direct object pronoun or an indirect object pronoun. My is a possessive pronoun.
In a sentence, a direct object receives the action of the verb directly, while an indirect object receives the action indirectly.
In a sentence, a direct object receives the action of the verb directly, while an indirect object receives the action indirectly.
"You" can be either a direct or indirect object: It is a direct object in "I want to kiss you." It is an indirect object in "Henry is going to give you the tickets."
A direct object receives the action of the verb, and an indirect object receives the direct object. Example: Maria kicked Jim the ball. "Ball" is receiving the action, "kicked". It is getting "kicked", so it is the direct object. "Jim" is receiving the "ball"- so "Jim" is the indirect object.
The direct object is "you"; the indirect object (I believe) is "this".
A direct object receives the action of the verb directly, while an indirect object receives the action indirectly and usually answers the question "to whom" or "for whom" the action is done.
A direct or indirect object is a part of a sentence. A single word in isolation is neither a direct or indirect object. However, most nouns can be used in a sentence as either a direct or indirect object.
